Routine appointments

To request a routine appointment, you can:

  • use an online form to request a consultation
  • use the NHS App (currently limited to booking blood test appointments)
  • phone us on 0151 630 0354 from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6:30pm
  • visit the surgery during opening hours and speak to a receptionist

When you get in touch, we’ll ask what you need help with. This allows us to understand how urgent your problem is so we can find the most suitable person to help you. We have trained our reception team to direct you to the most appropriate service.

If you contact us online, we will be in touch within two working days.

Patients can book appointments with practice nurses by phone or in person. Online booking for nurses isn’t available at present.

Doctors are available for appointments every weekday evening through the Extended Access scheme. Weekend appointments also available. These appointments will be at Miriam Medical Centre (Laird Street, Birkenhead). Please call our reception team to book these.
